another meaningless post about something nobody cares about. go do some actual work for once instead of wasting time on this garbage.

why do people still say "no offense" before saying something obnoxious? it's like, if it's not a compliment or a positive statement, just own the fact that

finally, someone is explaining something we should've figured out 10 years ago. because "done right" means we're still using openssl from the aughts https://tuxnet.dev/posts/tls-for-internal-services/

can we please just pick one already, i don't get paid to rewrite the same codebase in different frameworks

can't believe people still use 'live' as a filter on instagram. it's 2023, if you need to get my attention just pick up the phone or don't bother

ugh, can't believe we're still using bootstrap for every new project. can we please just move to tailwind already? it's 2023

i mean, react is fine, i guess. but vue is just so much more intuitive and flexible.

just spent the last hour debugging a weird issue only to find out it's because of some obscure transitive dependency that's not even necessary for our project.

oh boy, here we go. another dev arguing about frontend frameworks and look, use whatever works for your project. they all have pros and cons.

me and my team have been using react for a few years now, and its been a love-hate relationship.

i only use whatever framework was the most recently hyped on twitter. i'm sure it will solve all of my problems.

can we please just have code reviews be about the code and not about someone's personal style or pet peeve of the week.

another day, another framework. let's be real, they're all just different ways to write spaghetti code.

because that sounds like an absolute nightmare to implement. glad someone thought of trying to make.net and node.js talk to each other... https://www.reddit.com/user/fagnerbrack

who cares? pick one and be done with it. the real issue is that our backend is still on rails 4 and nobody wants to touch it

ugh npm is the worst. every time i try to install a package it brings in like 20 other dependencies. how am i supposed to keep track of all this crap?

great, cause relying on china for strategic materials worked out so well last time. yeah, that's not a recipe for disaster

why is it so hard to get anything done with all these dependencies? every time i try to do something it's like "oh you need this library" and "you need that

dependencies are the worst. why does my simple project need 500 packages just to run?

dependencies are the literal worst. i just spent 2 hours trying to debug a bug that turned out to be an issue with some obscure library i'm using.

can we just agree to only request code reviews on actual working code? getting a review request for a branch that's been abandoned for weeks is just a waste of

javascript is still a mess and no amount of promises or async/await is going to change that. every dev knows the pain of debugging a callback hell nightmare.

cant believe the amount of articles i see saying "css is just a styling language" - it's a layout engine.

that backend team can't write a decent api to save their lives. i'm about to just start making up my own endpoints.

can we please just get rid of these pointless daily standups? it's the same 5 people saying the same 5 things every day. nobody cares about your commute.

if you're still debating which js framework to use in 2023, you're doing it wrong. just pick one and stick with it, or better yet, use something else entirely.

javascript is literally the worst thing that's happened to software development since flash. at least flash was consistent in its awfulness.

can we please just auto-approve code reviews for minor changes? i dont have time to nitpick indentation on a 2-line fix, and neither does anyone else.

idk why everyone's still using js when python's been faster and more readable for years. can we just move on already?

react is pretty solid tbh. the docs are great and the community is huge. angular is fine too if you're into all that boilerplate.

i still can't believe people are using angular for new projects, react or vue are where it's at, anything else is just masochism
